Injury and Depression: What Every Coach & Sports Medicine Specialist Should Know
Depression is an area of mental health that has arguably gained the most attention in recent times especially in relation to athletes. There are a variety of reasons why an athlete may battle with depression, but this article will focus on the vulnerability to depression as a result of an injury.
Sport Psychologist Rebecca Symes from www.sporting-success.com and writing in the The Podium Sports Journal dicusses – The role of a Sport Psychologist in relation to injury is two-fold. Firstly, working with athletes to help prevent injury and secondly working with injured athletes to help them deal with the psychological affects of injury. The former may surprise some people but the biggest area of psychological research into injury has focused on the antecedents to athletic injury. We now have a comprehensive understanding of the psychological factors and underlying mechanisms which influence the risk of injury. Therefore applied sport psychologists can work with these factors to try and reduce their influence. Whilst it is beyond the scope of this article to develop this line of thinking further, as a top line insight, psychosocial factors include personality, history of stressors and coping resources whilst stress responses mediate the relationship between these factors and injury. In one soccer based study, players who were psychologically screened and consequently identified as being at high risk of incurring injuries were then split into two groups, with one group receiving training around 6 mental skills (including stress management, relaxation skills and confidence training) whilst the other acted as a control group. Over the 19 week competitive season, the intervention significantly lowered the number of injuries.
Getting injured is naturally a cause for concern for any athlete and their club or country they represent and thankfully the physical rehabilitation for athletes is often outstanding. However, is the psychological rehabilitation given the same recognition, credence and respect? You often hear managers, coaches, sports physicians and the like talking about the mental side of injury, especially in relation to athletes' confidence to return to action. Yet, are they actually doing something about it? Talking and awareness is a start but intervention is imperative.
Athletes can experience a range of emotional responses to injury including anger frustration, fear of the unknown, confusion, depression and tension. One area in particular that influences the potential for emotional disturbance is that of athletic identity, which I discussed in a previous article. This is the degree to which an athlete identifies with the role of an athlete and the stronger the sense of identity the greater the risk for emotional difficulties such as post-injury depression. This is because injury represents a threat to self-esteem and a potential loss of identity.
So moving more specifically onto that area of depression, what exactly is it? Well depression in a clinical sense is an emotional state, characterised by feelings of great sadness and worthlessness. We have all at some time or other experienced a depressive mood and the word 'depression' is one that has leaked into everyday language. On the one hand this can be seen as a positive since it is a word that is more accepted now than it ever has been before, however on the other hand, clinical depression is markedly different to a depressed mood. The DSM-IV-TR criteria for clinical depression is a "sad, depressed mood, most of the day, nearly every day for two weeks, or loss of interest and pleasure in usual activities plus at least 4 other symptoms from an extensive list which includes difficulties in sleeping (insomnia); not falling asleep initially; not returning to sleep after awakening in the middle of the night, and early morning awakenings; or in some cases, a desire to sleep a great deal of the time; negative self-concept, self-reproach and self-blame and recurring thoughts of death or suicide.
Over the years there have been many theories of depression, including both psychological theories such as Beck's theory of depression, which revolves around the central premise that individuals become depressed as a result of their thinking being biased towards negative interpretations (negative schema), and biological theories evolving around two key neurotransmitters (chemical messengers that enable our brain and nervous system to communicate) serotonin and norepinephrine. There is general consensus that it is most likely an interaction between the two with predisposed vulnerabilities due to genetic or schematic factors triggered by stressful life events, of which an athletic injury would be one example. Therefore if we do not take the psychological rehabilitation of our athletes seriously, then we could be allowing them to fall into a very dangerous trap.
Involving a psychologist in the rehabilitation process of an injured athlete is therefore highly recommended and I would argue essential. The key to this is strong working relationships between all science and medicine staff and indeed coaching staff. The role of a physiotherapist (PT in USA) is particularly important because athletes will often emotionally open up to these practitioners due to the tactile and physical nature of their role. Naturally there will be athlete confidentiality issues at play, however if handled sensitively at the start of the rehabilitation process, there should be a case conference with all staff and the athlete where it is agreed upon that information will be shared freely between all appropriate practitioners with the aim of ensuring the athlete the best possible rehabilitation process. That said, the athlete could of course not agree to this in the first place, or indeed at any time decide that they would like certain information not to be shared and that is of course the athlete's right, unless he or she is deemed to be at risk of harm and then that right is waivered.
It is likely that out of all science and medicine staff, physiotherapists and strength and conditioning/strength and rehabilitation coaches will have the most contact with an injured athlete and therefore, serve as the eyes and ears for the rest of the medical team. Types of information/feedback that a psychologist in particular would be interested in is whether the athlete is adhering to their rehab programme or indeed over/under-adhering, any differences in mood as time goes on, any behaviour that is out of character for the athlete, any information regarding the athlete's sleep patterns (e.g. reportedly broken sleep, inability to get to sleep), any significant changes in energy levels (elevated or lowered); insight into any changes in appetite or weight (increases or decreases); complaints of difficulty in concentrating and indecisiveness or indeed behavioural observations of this and observations of distinctly negative self talk, self-blame, self-loathing, and negative thoughts towards the future.
It is obviously not the responsibility of these specialized practitioners to make diagnoses of depression, rather a sport psychologist would likely involve a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist to assist in assessing the severity of the symptoms. Just the same, it is their responsibility to share and facilitate the proper channeling of information. Hence, the key proviso is that this team has been set up correctly from the outset.
Indeed, this process works both ways. It is also important for the psychologist to be sharing information back again; ensuring other practitioners are aware of the work that is going on on the psychological side and encouraging these practitioners to reinforce key messages (where appropriate).
Of the greatest importance is the fact that the athlete is of course central to this process. Secret conversations going on behind the athletes back is unacceptable, however, the medical team needs to recognise that some athletes may not be able to recognise for themselves what is happening. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the support team around the athlete to help interpret and provide goals, encouragement, realistic time-lines, motivation, and direct assistance so as to maximize teamwork and the overall efficacy of the rehabilitative process. Strong relationships, open communication and the involvement of not only physical rehabilitation but also psychological rehabilitation will help to ensure our athletes are looked after to the best degree possible…for everyone has the same goal to help that athlete get back on the field – fully fit – both mentally and physically.

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) principal Troy LaRaviere faced the media Thursday morning to speak out against the "politically motivated charges" leveled against him by the district.
Last month, CPS removed LaRaviere -- an outspoken critic of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPS -- from Blaine Elementary School in Lakeview and reassigned him to his home with pay until the disciplinary process is complete.
CPS has 12 total dismissal charges pending against LaRaviere involving insubordination, dereliction of duty and ethics violations.
LaRaviere's removal comes as he runs for president of the Chicago Principals and Administrators Association, the election for which is currently underway and ballots will be counted next week.
"When I was a lone voice, the administration tolerated me," LaRaviere said this morning at the Wishbone Restaurant on Lincoln Avenue. "But when faced with the prospect of an organized group of education leaders speaking as one on behalf of students, they've moved with haste and reckless abandon to prevent that from happening."
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is coming under fire from Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders after an outspoken Chicago Public Schools principal was "reassigned" by the district Wednesday.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis spoke via phone this week following Tuesday's mayoral runoff election.
Southeast Side Chicagoans and environmentalists claim the city has not met its March 31 target to set limits on the allowable amount of petcoke stored in Chicago.
A federal judge ordered the Chicago Transit Authority to allow anti-Rahm Emanuel campaign brochures to be placed in employee break rooms.
While on the campaign trail Wednesday, Chicago mayoral challenger Jesus "Chuy" Garcia weighed in on new crime stats, responded to the ACLU of Illinios' "stop and frisk" report and announced support for the Chicago Housing Initiative's "Keeping the Promise" ordinance.
The Chicago Teachers Union is in contract talks with the Board of Ed and released its final set of demands Thursday. The union held a large rally Thursday evening, calling for "education justice" in Chicago — a running theme among the final 10 contract requests released by the group of educators.
Chicago Mayoral challenger Jesus 'Chuy' Garcia joined the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) on Wednesday in demanding a $15 an hour minimum wage for all Chicago Public Schools (CPS) employees, including subcontracted workers.
Garcia and CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey made the call for a "living wage" for CPS employees at a press conference held ahead of the Chicago Board of Education's monthly meeting.
Safe Passage workers, who guard routes students take while traveling to and from school, are among those who would be impacted if CPS lifted its hourly minimum wage to $15 for all employees.
Sharkey said "there are hundreds, if not thousands, of Safe Passage workers" who currently earn less than $15 an hour.
"I stand with CTU today because what they are pressing for is an increase in the living wage," said Garcia, who is endorsed by the teachers' union in Chicago's mayoral race. "It is essential to have more stable families. They are critical providers of front-line services, caring for our children, ensuring greater community stability. I stand with them because it is good for Chicago and for a more promising Chicago for all workers in the city."
Progress Illinois provides highlights from a fierce debate between Brian Hopkins and Alyx Pattison, Chicago's 2nd Ward aldermanic runoff candidates.

All children learn to walk and to talk without being forced to. Many children learn thinks from programming to producing music to languages to science without being forced to. Adult learning is also self-directed.
If somethings interests children that's a great indication that it's something they're going to be good at.
Children are naturally curious, that they need to be forced to do something is a strong sign that it's if not total bullshit at least not important for them.
Most things you learn in school could be replaced by anyone with a computer.
They won't learn to socialise with each other
These children will not have any work ethic at all.

A new messaging mobile from the House of LG has cropped up online, as the Optimus range of Android kits continues to expand apace.
Uncovered by Daum.net and Juggly.cn and brought to our attention by Engadget, the LG Optimus Note rocks a slide-out physical keyboard for tapping out messages and a four-inch WVGA Nova display for the fun stuff.
It also rocks Android Gingerbread out of the box, a five-megapixel camera with LED flash for snaps and clips, plus a secondary VGA snapper for video calls. And to keep everything whipsmart, there's a powerful dual core 1GHz processor packed into its 12.3mm thick frame.
It's not yet clear if South Korea-based LG has any plans to bring the handset to us in Blighty or whether it's intended solely for its domestic market.
The phone emerges days after LG revealed plans for a follow-up to the LG Optimus 3D. According to Dr Henry Noh, who was a key mover and shaker in the development of LG's original 3D-capable smartphone, the second version will be a lighter and slimmer handset with the same stereoscopic media and gaming smarts at its predecessor.

THE BELIEF CONCERNING THE ALIDS ('alawiya)
Says the Shaykh Abu Ja'far, the mercy of Allah upon him: Our belief concerning the Alids ('alawiya) is that they are the progeny of the Messenger of Allah, and that devotion to them is obligatory, because it is the requital of his apostleship. Says Allah, Exalted is He: "Say (0 Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no requital therefor, save loving - kindness of (my) kinsfolk" [42, 23]. The acceptance of sadaqa is forbidden to them, because it is the dirt contained in the hands of the people. And there is no purification for them (the people) save what they give to their (sadat's) slaves and slave-girls, or to one another. But as for the khumus, this is permitted to them in lieu of the zakat, which was forbidden to them.
And our belief concerning those (sadat or 'alawiya) who act sinfully is that they will be punished doubly, and those who do good acts among them will receive a double reward. They are all equal to one another in view of the Prophet's saying, when he looked at the sons of Abu Talib, namely 'Ali and Ja'far Tayyar: Our daughters are like our sons, and our sons, like our daughters. Imam Ja'far said: He who disobeys the religion of Allah and be-friends His enemies or shows enmity towards His friends, complete dissociation (bara'a) from him is obligatory (wajib), whoever he may happen to be and to whichever tribe he may happen to belong.
The Prince of Believers, 'Ali, told his son Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiya: Your courtesy, due to innate nobility, is more excellent than mere noble lineage. Imam Ja'far said: My devotion (walaya) towards the Prince of Believers is more dear to me than my descent from him. Imam Ja'far was asked concerning the family (al) of the Prophet Muhammad, and he replied that the family of Muhammad were (those close relations who were) forbidden to him (the Prophet) in marriage.
And the Glorious and Mighty says: "And verily We sent Noah and Abraham and placed the prophethood and the Scripture among their seed; so among them is he who goeth right but many of them are evil-livers" [57,26].
Imam Ja'far was asked concerning the saying of Allah the Mighty and Glorious: "And then We gave the Scripture as inheritance unto those of our servants whom We elected. But of them are some who wrong themselves and of them are some who are lukewarm, and of them are some who outstrip (others) through good deeds, by Allah's leave" [35, 32]. He said: By those "who wrong themselves" (zalim) are meant those who do not recognize the right of the Imam; and by "the lukewarm (middling, fair)" (muqtasid) are meant those who know his right; and by those "who outstrip (others) by good deeds, by Allah's leave" are meant the Imams.
Imam Ja'far was asked by his son Isma'il: What will be the condition of the sinners among us? He said: "It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor the desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the recompense thereof, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper" [4,123].
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir in a lengthy tradition says: There is no relationship between Allah and any one else. Verily the person most liked among them in the sight of Allah is the most God-fearing, and one who acts most obediently to Him. I swear by Allah, no man can approach Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, except through obedience. We possess no immunity from the Fire, and not one of us has an argument which will prevail against Allah. He who is obedient to Allah is a friend to us; and he who is disobedient to Allah is an enemy to us. No one can reach (us) except through piety and good deeds. And Noah said: "My Lord! Lo! My son is of my household! Surely Thy promise is the truth and Thou art the most just of Judges. "He said: 0 Noah! Lo! He is not of thy household; lo! he is of evil conduct, so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge. I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant. "He said: My Lord! in Thee do I seek refuge (from the sin) that I should ask of Thee that whereof I have no knowledge. Unless Thou forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among the lost" [11,47].
And Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq was asked concerning the saying of Allah the Mighty and Glorious: 'And on the Day of Resurrection thou (0 Muhammad) seest those who lied concerning Allah with their faces blackened. Is not the house of the scorners in Hell?" [39, 60]. He said: (This refers to him) who claims to be Imam, without being one, even if he were an Alid and a Fatimid. And Imam Ja'far told his companions: There is no difference between you and those who oppose you save "that which is concealed" (al-mudmar). He was asked: And what is "that which is concealed"? He said: That which you call absolution (bara'a). Now as for him who opposes you and his neighbour (jar), seek absolution in respect of him even if he were an Alid and a Fatimid.
And he (Imam Ja'far) spoke to his companions concerning his son 'Abdu'l-lah: He does not follow (the religion) which you follow, and verily I have nothing to do with him. May Allah the Mighty and Glorious have nothing to do with him.

Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal: League leaders are humiliated in 20 mad minutes as Skrtel, Sterling and Sturridge run riot at Anfield
At the end of it all, Arsenal's title challenge was still intact: in theory. In reality, after 20 minutes their pretensions had been utterly exposed by an extraordinary Liverpool performance that ranks alongside the best produced by anyone this season.
In the most stunning and shocking half of the season so far, Liverpool not only dismantled Arsenal, they gave a glimpse of the possibilities they might achieve under Brendan Rodgers. Fourth place is assumed to be their target, yet this hinted at much greater potential in future.
Rodgers insisted later that they were not ready for the title race and he is doubtless right; there are frailties, especially in defence, that might be exploited and they do not have a squad to match the top three.

was a wonderful performance in such a prestigious game,' said Rodgers.

too, had a good day; tactically he outwitted Arsene Wenger, with
Sterling on the left proving a test too far for Bacary Sagna, while
Nacho Monreal up against Luis Suarez on the right was a painful
mismatch. Sterling coming inside frequently exposed Per Mertesacker,
leaving Laurent Koscielny adrift. A previously assured back four looked
an utter shambles.
course, the title race is not over for Arsenal if they can prove this is
a rogue result, but the worry is that old demons seem to be returning.
These calamities have been familiar in recent seasons but they seemed to
have been eradicated. Even 6-3 at Manchester City was not like this.

Ozil was dreadful and at fault for two goals. When Arsenal went 3-0
down on 17 minutes, no one — not Mertesacker, nor Arteta — attempted to
rally the team. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shook his head in disbelief but
otherwise they were speechless and expressionless, seemingly bereft of
owner Stan Kroenke had turned up to watch an away game, a rare event in
itself. He will not be rushing back over from Denver anytime soon. He
sat impassively in his seat as the nightmare unfolded.
Wenger the task of rebuilding confidence starts now, with Manchester
United going to The Emirates on Wednesday. Arsenal face Liverpool again
in the FA Cup on Sunday and some — Ozil and Monreal perhaps — might
apply for leave of absence. Then come European champions Bayern Munich.

Seven further minutes passed and Ozil's first awful moment came, losing the ball in Liverpool's half, as Henderson powered forward to find Luis Suarez. His cross for Sterling to convert at the far post was immaculate. The fourth came from Sturridge two minutes later, as Ozil's pass found Coutinho and the midfielder sprinted downfield before finding his team-mate to finish.

On 10 February, Olympic Champion and Youth Sport Trust Ambassador Jason Gardener met with 90 teenagers from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities to inspire them to play an active role in the sports provision in their local areas.
Through a range of dynamic workshops and talks from motivational speakers at the Future Leaders event, the participants found out how to have direct input into sports management and governance both now and in their developing careers. The day-long event was run in partnership with Sporting Equals, an organisation that promotes ethnic diversity in sport and is also the national partner of Sport England.
Sixteen-year-old Deborah Conteh from East London took part to hone her skills and further develop a women's Basketball team in her neighbourhood. She was recommended the programme by her teacher as a way of helping her meet people who have the same goals as her.
She said:
I really enjoyed the Future Sport Leaders event. I believe that more people should attend events like this because they help young people like me to meet others who have a similar mindset or aspirations so you can share your experiences with them.
"It's also a great opportunity to train and develop a range of communication skills as well as make contacts with other people who can help you in the future after the event has taken place."
Farhan Kazi, who is Head of Year 11 at Tauheedul Islam Boys' High School in Blackburn brought a group of his students and praised the event for providing an inspiring and interactive day which created a real buzz amongst his students.
He said: "The day was very eventful, engaging and successful for myself as a member of staff and also for my young leaders. I applaud the world class hospitality and the charming welcome by the staff on the day. We would definitely look to attend this event again in the future."
One of his students, Zaid Mall, added:
The day was wicked. It was amazing to listen to six different inspirational speakers talk about how I can am able to lead my locality into a bright future in sport. I thought it was only in my area that it was challenging to take part in sport but I saw people from areas like mine being successful and I want to be like them.
Georgina Osibodu (16) from Oxford said:
I loved the event. It was so inspirational and made me believe that I could do anything. Hearing stories from the athletes and how they amounted from nothing to something made me feel like I could do that too. Future Sports Leaders has given me the push I needed to get started in what I want to do, which is to start training to be a basketball coach so I can set up a club for girls. It has also helped my communication skills so that I will be able to talk to important people with confidence in myself and in what I'm saying. It has also made me feel that I should take every sporting opportunity I have or get given because I know that there are so many BAME girls who don't have the same opportunities that I am lucky to have.
Youth Sport Trust runs various programmes and initiatives to engage with people from BAME communities to provide opportunities to succeed in all areas of sport. In support of this, Youth Sport Trust is sponsoring the Young Sportsperson of the Year category at the British Ethnic Diversity Sports Awards (BEDSAs), which take place in March.

By now, you've probably noticed the colorful posters and the hilarious trailer for "Bridesmaids," which features an all-star cast of very funny ladies. Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendy McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper, as the title suggests, are bridesmaids in their friend's wedding (Maya Rudolph), and the film follows the complicated process (and ensuing hilarity) of being in a friend's bridal party.
Since the most memorable aspect of being a bridesmaid is the dress — more often than not worn just that one time — MTV News asked the cast, producer Judd Apatow and director Paul Feig to brainstorm a few good ways to reuse a bridesmaid dress.
"Kindling?" Wiig offered.
"[A] mop, definitely, except it's not as absorbent as you [would want]," Rudolph suggested. "It's probably a bit more polyester-based. [Maybe] something that you can put in the sunroof of your car and then close the sunroof and let it fly or flap in the breeze? That would be beautiful."
"Or," Wiig continued, "I thought you were going to say you could put it on your windshield to not have the sun come in so your car is nice and cool."
"Or maybe reuse for a bloody, bloody ghost costume," Rudolph added.
The rest of the ladies agreed with the bridesmaid-dress-as-costume theme.
"Each and every one of them I've used as a costume at the Groundlings," McLendon-Covey said of her wardrobe for the improv comedy troupe. "So I got my money's worth. Even my wedding dress I used as a costume."
"I wore one bridesmaid's dress as a costume," Kemper revealed. "I have a black bridesmaid's dress that is so multifunctional, forget it, I wear it all the time ... some I can't seem to use again; it's those lime-green ones."
"Yeah," McClendon-Covey agreed. "Some of them, the fabric is so chintzy that it changes colors after you sweat in it, it's like, 'Well, my secret's out. I have sweat glands, kids.' "
McCarthy added that old bridesmaid dresses make for excellent dress-up clothes for the little ones, "especially if it's a really bad one. If you have kids or know kids, you can cut it up," she suggested. "Kids love tacky dresses."
Apatow and Feig took things in a completely different direction. "[Wear it for a] sexy night, sexy night fun," Apatow said.
"Role play," the director and producer said at the same time and laughed.
"Oh sorry, I'm the caterer. You've come into the wrong room, bridesmaid," Feig said, role-playing a sexy scene. "Weird how that actually worked out in my head that quickly," he added.
Check out everything we've got on "Bridesmaids."

A FORMER soldier from Matlock has been selected to meet the Queen this month.
Roger Price of Lums Hill Rise, is the vice chairman of the Royal Engineers Association branch in Chesterfield, and is on the national committee for the regiment's charitable trust.
The 63-year-old former lance corporal, who has been involved with the association for more than a decade, will be heading for Windsor Castle to celebrate 100 years of the association.
He said: "It's been up in the air for a while, but I got the invitation recently and it was nice surprise."
And the day may not be his only brush with royalty this summer, after he was chosen to attend the garden party at Buckingham Palace next month.

Sabine's Smiling Horse Valiente - the strongest
Valiente is 8 years old and had his career in Tilaran as a famous rally horse.
He took several times part in the National Distance Race of Costa Rica.
Now he lives with our other horses together in the herd. he is very peaceful with the other horses and incredibly intelligent.
He opens gates and our garden compost himself.
Believe it or not he knows how to get away from work if he does not feel like it by limping - it took me a long time to understand!
Valiente is definitely our strongest horse.

"Some people believe that murder is an art," a character says in Anthony Shaffer's "Murderer." Maybe so, but there's little that approaches art in either this script or Harbour Theatre's production.
Let's start with the set. A combination artist's studio and living room in an English country home, it features a glass-enclosed bathroom, complete with tub and shower, which is plunked down smack-dab in the center of the room.
Why the bathtub is in the middle of the living room is one of the bigger mysteries of the show -- until, that is, the tub turns out to be the scene of the crime. At that point, a kind of plodding consistency is revealed by the fact that the set is about as subtle as the play itself.

To put it kindly, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) wants you to believe some questionable things.
Ryan, whom Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney tapped as his running mate on Saturday, has led the Republican Party's crusade against government spending. He claims that investing in programs to provide a safety net for the elderly and poor have become an unsustainable burden on the country's national debt.
But the evidence that Ryan provides for why the U.S. must dismantle the welfare state has shaky foundations, according to some economists and commentators.
Paul Ryan and economists just can't agree on these 7 things:

Online Order Fulfillment Services Company
My Home Based Order Fulfillment and Distribution Company!
How it all Began…
By: Denise Milette
I think that entrepreneurship can start at a very early age.
I was the kid on the corner with a lemonade stand, doing puppet shows, haunted houses or whatever else we could come up with to make little extra candy cash.
One time I even dared to make mud pies, no not the chocolate ones, but real dirt pies.
I put them into my mom's foil pans, garnished them with a flower and peddled them in my red wagon from house to house.
I sold only one and was immediately turned off by the many who said no thanks!
It is hard to be rejected, so I thought that perhaps I'd better give up the mud pie business.
I admire those folks who seem to forge ahead even when they have stacked up to the rejections.
I am not one of those people.
I have attempted many businesses, some ridiculous ones and some not, but never felt that I gave it my all.
I gave up so quickly on most of them I just didn't think I could be a successful entrepreneur, ever!
Humble Beginnings!
Back in 2001 my sister and her husband were becoming very successful in their software development company, Digieffects.
They were doing incredible things with software that let users do all kinds of cool effects with video plugins!
Home Based Business Success Stories and Case Studies
One of their marketing tactics was to offer potential buyers a free demo package.
It included a DVD or VHS and literature.
They were becoming overwhelmed with the amount of interest in their new products.
They were spending precious time shipping these demos when time should be spent on development.
Back then I was working full time at our local hospital and had early hours.
I would go in at 5:00 in the morning and was off by 1:00.
I was always looking for something on the side to make extra cash. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Well, my sister asked if I would be interested in sending out these demo packages for them.
Sure, why not! So they shipped their stock of DVDs/videos, literature, and a label printer to me, and off I went… my online order fulfillment services company was born!
The Start-Up!
Things were pretty manual back then.
I used stamps to send the demos out via Priority mail and even went to a post office most every day!
I set up a small bookshelf in my home office to store their products, and I made enough for my husband and me to go to Maui, so that's some good extra cash!
I continued to work only for Digieffects until about 2003.
Time went by, and I started to look a little further into what this type of service was.
My thinking was if my sister and her husband needed for someone to ship out their demos than other businesses must need to outsource their shipping and distribution too.
My sister had informed me about what order fulfillment services are and would it be something I'd be willing to start up?
Order fulfillment is a service that warehouses and handles product shipment for online businesses.
We do not own their product.
I was still working at the hospital, and it was a good job.
But I was bored to tears with it… even though it was a good salary and secure!
There was that nagging feeling again.
Should I pursue a home business such as online order fulfillment services?
Would I put in a little more effort into it this time and try to build it? What are the responsibilities to my customers?
Can I do it?
Can I get other customers like Digieffects?
Could I make money at it?!
The questions and doubts were pretty intense.
Well, what a better time to start a home business than when you are working right?
What the heck.
I came up with a business name, and at the time it was E-fulfill.
I got business cards printed, and more importantly got a website up and running.
It was the dullest website ever, but I am frugal!
I then hired a company to submit keywords and phrases to the search engines and waited.
Kind of funny to think now that I just waited for business! I was still doing the drop ship fulfillment for Digieffects and still working full time, so I was in no hurry.
After proving my ability that I could handle their cd fulfillment (demo packages), they now asked if I would also handle the drop ship fulfillment of their high end software products!
Of course I would…
And I would make many mistakes, but because I am the big sister I didn't get fired or into too much trouble.
I learned a lot of do's and don'ts of 3rd party fulfillment and shipping!
I did not go to college to own an online order fulfillment services company. I had a lot to learn, and I did!
All on my own.
Luckily, Digieffects did not lose clients because of their new and inexperienced order fulfillment center!
My Second Drop Ship Customer!
In 2004, I get my second customer!
I was actually ordering hair care products from their website and had to call her because her web site was unable to take my order!
We had a nice long talk and she was maxed out!
She was not only developing her own line of shampoos, but also running a beauty shop and then going home to fill orders for customers ordering her hair care products!
So, I told her about my new order fulfillment warehouse and shipping business, and she was so amazed that there were companies like mine that actually did the warehousing and shipping for small businesses like hers!
I had her product on my shelf in a month's time and Razzamatazz stayed with me until 2009.
It Didn't Work!
I then invited my other sister who lives in California and also an entrepreneur, to join me in my new, well sort of new, venture!
She was glad to come on board so we split our 2 customer's inventory. That's right, half here in Grand Junction, Colorado and half in Temecula, California.
Obviously we did not think this thru and soon realized it was a logistical nightmare.
We worked at it for a while, filling orders, responding to quotes from potential clients before we decided that it would be best for just one person to run the business.
I took back the inventory that was in California and proceeded to work the business by myself.
I did hire a part-time assistant to help with orders so I could have time off.
That is very important to me, and I have been so fortunate in the people who have worked with me.
Changes & New Beginnings!
I then changed my company name to We-fulfill, improved the web site and looked for more customers.
They were starting to email or call for quotes on my online order fulfilment services.
People were finding me on the web, liked our services and prices… so I was able to sign on new customers.
We specialized in the new start up company and they liked the idea of having someone to work with them as they grew their business.
All I knew was that I needed to be as customer service oriented as I know how.
Well now I needed more than just a bookshelf.
With more clients I now have purchased the larger industrial strength shelving and have them in my 2 car garage.
Later in 2004, we moved into a larger home with a 3 car garage!
We needed more room and my projections for the business were that I would need additional space for clients' products.
I wasn't ready to move into an industrial warehouse space, and I really wanted to continue working from home.
My little home business continued to grow, so I purchased more shelving and ultimately filled up our entire three car garage.
I was now signing on customers who had their own home-based businesses.
Lots of them were stay at home moms and they not only lacked the room for their inventory but lacked the time to process and ship all of their orders!
My online order fulfillment services company was starting to take off now, and I found it easy to get new customers.
I was still only marketing by paying a company to submit keywords and phrases to the search engines!
That was it!
My marketing expenses were so small!
I was still working full time but as I gathered more customers, I was able to work less at the hospital.
My supervisors were the most incredible and accommodating people. They knew exactly what I was doing and allowed me to work less at the job as I got busier in my home business.
By the time I left my position, I was job sharing and only working about 20 hours per month. I think I was a little intimidated by entirely quitting my job, but by July 30, 2006, it was time!
I hired a full-time contract laborer, and this allowed me to take time off and not have to do the day to day operations of order processing and the pick and pack and shipping duties.
When you own your own small business, you wear many hats. Accounting, marketing, proposals to prospects are just some of the many tasks that need attention.
Denise is in the News, with her online order fulfillment services!
Yep, I and my little online order fulfillment services company make it into the local news.
Actually, with all the layoffs around the country and all the other weak economic news right now, it's pretty big news around town…
"Local lady makes good in her own home business!"
It's Time to Expand my Business Model!
By 2009, I have a client base of 12 customers, and I'm still in my three car garage and still loving it!
I have had some customers leave but have had other companies come in to take their place.
I do not want to move into commercial warehousing and have been working on other expansion models for my home business.
Running a business can be very rewarding and can also be an emotional roller coaster ride.
Remember, a business is a living organism.
You are dealing with humans and emotions.
There have been many times that I have thought of quitting and indeed have shed many tears.
But those moments are the learning times. Instead of quitting I proceeded to fix the problems and just moved on.
When I first started this business,
I kept inventory and billing on Xcel spreadsheets!
Finally in 2006, I implemented an order fulfillment software program that now does the billing to my clients automatically and keeps track of all the inventory!
What a lifesaver!
Many a night I would wake up worrying about someone's inventory numbers and go into the garage to recount a stack of tee shirts.
I wanted to grow my company somehow.
I looked into franchising and found quickly that it was costly to do and not only that, I did not want a cookie cutter version of We-fulfill.
I do not want to control others in how they will operate their order fulfillment centers. Impossible!
I was reading lots about franchises and business opportunities and the latter was the most logical growth model for me.
I now had a streamlined order fulfillment system with everything in place…
- a customized order fulfillment software program
- a custom order fulfillment website
- a fully documented manual explaining every step of running an online order fulfillment services business
- and my expertise… a little consultation with me could help anyone avoid many of the mistakes and pitfalls that I experienced first hand!
There it was, staring at me in the face.
A complete home business package that others could purchase!
I launched my new order fulfillment business opportunity in Feb of 2009, and I am so passionate about it!
Helping others do what I do, it's fantastic!
Yes, I still own my little ole online order fulfillment services company as this is my bread and butter.
But now I am the proud owner of two successful home businesses.
So there it is.
Not an overnight success by any means but indeed a home business idea that is available to anyone wanting to put in some effort. It can be scary being out of your comfort zone, but so worth it in the long run. Remember, you can't fail at something if you never try.
Good luck to all!
PS: And a special thanks to Joe and my family for their constant encouragement!

Gartner recently released the Hype Cycle For Digital Commerce, 2017* and several new categories have been added, including Marketplace Operation Applications.
Gartner recently released the Hype Cycle For Digital Commerce, 2017* and several new categories have been added, including Marketplace Operation Applications.
Earlier this month, a colleague asked me what I was most excited about regarding the upcoming Marketplace Summit by Mirakl. I have been heads-down on planning and coordinating that it seems I hadn't had a chance to really step back and look at the event as a whole and take in all of the topics that will be hit on. Viewing the full agenda makes me realize just how ambitious this event is. Not only will we examine the strategic nature of the marketplace model and how it powers some of the world's most successful platform businesses, but we will also highlight the operational benefits that Mirakl customers gain from their marketplaces. The summit is a chance to learn not only why businesses should launch marketplaces, but how they should do it. This event is a "must-attend" show because, as one of our expert panelists – Marc Vicente of Cdiscount – said, "marketplace is not some trendy, fancy project – it is the next generation of eCommerce."
With less than one month to go until the Marketplace Summit by Mirakl, it's fast approaching and we have lots of exciting content and speakers to share. The Summit is the largest global gathering of marketplace executives in the world. Sharing strategy, best-practice, industry leadership and customer testimonials, it promises to be a place to learn and share all things marketplace! The timing couldn't be better, with Gartner having named Marketplace Management as one of the hot eCommerce topics of 2017.
In January of this year, Gartner called out marketplace management as one of the hot topics in digital commerce for 2017. Marketplaces are a foundational element of any eCommerce strategy, underpinning and optimizing other projects such as omni-channel and personalization. Too often, though, retailers look at marketplace management as just another project, which is unfortunate when you consider the success other retailers have had with marketplaces:

Yesterday's local paper, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, had a front-page photo of children and their moms lined up, waiting to get inside a public swimming pool. (The limit is 25 children per one lifeguard, so they had to wait until someone left before they could come in.)
When I see crowded pools, I always think that such a photo could never have been taken when I was a child in the 1940s in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, because all our mothers forbade us to gather in groups for fear of catching polio -- especially in a pool.
When the polio epidemics, which always came in summer, were particularly bad we couldn't even play with other children in our neighborhood. One summer, when several children on the next block died, we were forbidden even to leave our yard to play with the kid next door. That summer a social worker came to each house, I remember, and gave me a coloring book and crayons.
Later, in the 1950s, at a small carnival in a Minnesota village, I remember paying a quarter to go inside a trailer to see a girl somewhat older than myself who lived in an iron lung, because illness (I assumed it was polio) had made her unable to breathe on her own.
A decade later, when I was a junior or senior at U Cal Berkeley, (so it must have been 1962 or '63), we all gathered near Sather Gate and were each handed a sugar cube soaked in the Sabin vaccine in a tiny paper cup, and the fear of polio became only a memory.
A few Christmases ago, my adult daughters gave me the Molly doll from the American Girls collection. She represents the era of the 1940s. They gave her to me because I had pointed out that Molly looked exactly like I did in the 1940s. We had the same long braids, the same wire-rimmed granny glasses, even the same wardrobe, including hand-smocked pinafores. (My mother always told me to take my glasses off whenever a camera was nearby, so I can't find a photo with them, but I still have the glasses -- now worn by a vintage teddy bear.)
The Molly doll, like all the American Girl dolls, each representing a different historical era, came with books describing her adventures. There was also a non-fiction book with a lot of vintage photographs explaining the historical period she lived in: "Welcome to Molly's World -- 1944 -- Growing up in World War Two America".
The author had done a good job of researching life in the 1940s and telling, in simple terms appropriate for children, about the wartime shortages, Hitler, Jewish Ghettos, Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt's fireside chats and much more. The book dealt with concentration camps and the Holocaust and the diary of Anne Frank, as well as telling about a little Jewish girl from Austria whose mother sewed money for their escape into her rag doll. The book told about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the little Japanese girl, Sadako, who tried to fold a thousand paper cranes, thinking that would counter the leukemia she got from the radiation of the A-bomb. (She finished 664 paper cranes before she died and the children at her school folded the rest and brought them to her funeral.)
World War II clearly affected children in Europe and the South Pacific far more grievously than it did American children, especially those of us in the Midwest, although nearly everyone had a relative fighting "over there." But reading about Molly's fictitious life brought back many small details of childhood in the Forties-- such as ration books with stamps for our meat, sugar and butter.
We saved and re-used all grease from the frying pan and butter was replaced with a tasteless margarine that had to have yellow color mixed into it. We saved tin foil and flattened tin cans for the war effort and of course had a victory garden in the back yard. Small as we were, we were given cardboard sheets showing the silhouettes of different kinds of airplanes so we could identify an enemy plane if it flew overhead. (We never saw one, but we always looked.) Our games included frequent shouts of "Bombs over Tokyo!" We had blackout curtains in all the windows and had to practice air raid drills, when we'd pull the curtains and turn out all the lights in an attempt to make Milwaukee invisible to enemy bombers. Of course by the 1950's, air raid drills were replaced with bomb shelters and practicing what to do (hide under our desks) when Russia dropped H-bombs on us.
In Shorewood, where we lived, most of the neighbors were of German background and, according to my parents, the FBI came around asking if the neighbors were holding meetings or singing war-like songs or doing anything suspicious. The answer was "No".
Listening to the big mahogany console radio that still had bite marks from my teething days on its corner...trying to get a clear connection with Edward R. Murrow reporting on the war news from London, hearing President Roosevelt saying, "A date which will live in infamy" (well, I can't remember that--I was an infant in 1941).... Molly and I have a lot of similar memories of a 1940s childhood--some of them poignant or scary, but most of them pleasant. We didn't have television or video games or cell phones, and we didn't need them.
But now, every time I see children escaping the heat, gathered around a sprinkler or swimming pool or an opened fire hydrant, I say a silent prayer of thanks that mothers no longer have to wake up on a hot summer day with the threat of polio hovering over their children.

Outside my window the Romneya is starting to flower. Romneya is also known as the Californian tree poppy.
I purchased this plant years ago in Spinners garden (UK). I instantly fell in love with the beautiful pure white flowers with the texture of crepe paper. Together with the yellow pompom heart, it really is a plant to die for.
Romneya flowers for months. It only needs a sunny spot in the garden and it grows about 2 meters high.
The owner of Spinners garden who sold me the plant, said: "It is a forgiving plant about the soil". He was ever so right. The plant thrives even in poor conditions. For instance I grow the Romneya against the wall of our house. Not the best soil of my garden.
It is a challenge to germinate the hairy seed heads. I once even tried to burn the seeds in a pot, to copy the forest fires that strike California every year. Seeing me burning the seeds, my friends mocked me! However, despite my efforts the seeds did not germinate. I have accepted that.
But do not bother. I still have my plant and it flowers. What more can one wish for?

We have always loved lighting up big conferences and when we got the chance to work alongside Ballito Prawn Festival to set up the summer festival venue in Cape Town, we couldn't be more excited. Working alongside these guys brought about a whole new angle to the work and we finished the work in record time. It goes without saying that the lighting and choice of lights was phenomenal.
